The Roof You Promised
Section 68 - Lunch With Haidar

Aurorae only noticed Herjuno's interaction with Haidar. He was not surprised when this man who was suddenly in front of them called Herjuno Papa. About Haidar, a little Aurorae knows how the young man's life journey.

Unlike the reaction shown by his two children, Ryan and Ryana are both surprised not to play when they see and hear the gym teacher at his school calling their father Papa.

"Good dad. How's it going? What are you doing here?" Herjuno received Haidar's hand, and the young man kissed him.

Haidar nodded. "I'm fine too. It's been the last year, I teach here, Pa." The boy's eyes were still teary.

Both Aurorae and Herjuno know that Haidar is holding back the day he meets the man he called Papa from childhood.

"Sir Haidar!" Ryan interrupted because after a moment of waiting, it seemed that no one wanted to explain to him about this situation.

"Why call my dad, Papa?" ask her frankly.

Haidar blinked. He was still trying to digest the words of one of his students. Haidar knew all that was happening, that his parents were divorced, that Herjuno had a pair of twins with his other wife.

But Haidar did not expect at all, that the children of Herjuno attended school here.

Ah right also, Haidar just realized he met Herjuno at school now. It must be because her children are students of this school.

"Eh." Haidar cleared his throat slowly overcoming his nervousness. "Your father was the one who took care of me when I was little" she replied smiling.

Herjuno's heart melos. This young man before him used to be the one he always carried behind his back, the one he slept with all night long, and who comforted him when his heart was very tired. This child, once loved by Herjuno.

"Abang Haidar, son of my ex-wife." Herjuno smiled looking at Ryana and Ryan alternately.

Ryan and Ryan greeted Haidar in turn.

"Haissshh sucks!" Ryana looked at Haidar with her eyes narrowed.

Aurorae. So did Herjuno and Haidar. What makes Ryan so upset.

"Why do I know now. If I had known earlier, I could have been content to show off Mr. Haidar as my brother."

Everyone is gawking. What did he say? Showcased?

"Mom knows no, Mr. Haidar is a lot of fans. Those geeky girls don't end up talking about it." Ryana twitching on Aurorae's arm made the woman blink her eyes.

"It would be cool if everyone knew I had two handsome brothers. Yeah, right, Mom?"

Everyone hasn't answered anything. Both Herjuno, Aurorae and Haidar are still digesting the speech of this teenage girl.

"It's lucky that Brother Haidar can live quietly." this time Ryan opened his voice.

Ryana. "What do you mean?"

"Trust me, having a sister seems to make you older faster." Ryan whispered in Haidar's ear.

Everyone chuckles. If Herjuno and Aurorae are comforted by the quarrel of their two children. Haidar, even moved. His eyes were already glazed over, ah right if he knew earlier it would definitely be great to have two sisters.

"Haidar is busy? Want to have lunch with us?" this time Aurorae greeted the boy kindly.

Haidar seemed to be weighing, I don't know what made him doubt.

"Eat with us, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Aurorae repeated her offer. To convince Haidar, that the first offer was not just a small talk.

Haidar glanced at Herjuno as if asking for approval. And Herjuno nodded, honestly facing Haidar again made him miss hugging this child.

Haidar actually joined in for lunch with everyone. At one of the restaurants not far from Ryan and Ryana's school, the five of them sat around a round table.

"Eat a lot, don't worry, hum?" Aurorae touched Haidar's right hand gently, wanting to make sure the boy was comfortable.

Again Haidar nodded and thanked him.

"Sir Haidar, where do you live?" Ryan opened the chat, knowing clearly that his gym teacher was feeling a little awkward.

"Why call sir? You're not even a schoolgirl anymore." Ryana.

"Ah, right. Where do you live?" Ryan repeated the question.

"At Pasteur." Haidar answered briefly, chewing his food.

"It's very close to our house." Ryana cheering.

"Apartment?" this time Aurorae answered the question.

Haidar nodded.

Herjuno. "You live in an apartment? Why not at home?" Because the apartment mentioned by Haidar , the distance is not far from the house that Herjuno used to live with Megumi. Herjuno's hard-earned home, which he fully gave to Megumi during their separation.

"The house was sold by Mama when I was in second grade Junior High. Then we contracted for a house in Leuwigajah. I went to school there." Obviously Haidar slowly, the boy looked calm.

Herjuno. When he divorced Megumi, and the woman had to account for her actions behind bars, Herjuno took care of Haidar with the help of Bi Lilis. However, he could not bear to leave this child alone. They still occupy the same house. Just a few days before Megumi was released, Herjuno packed all his belongings and moved into the Aurorae house.

Aurorae, who caught Herjuno's surprise, tried to divert the conversation.

"You're growing up so well." Aurorae touches Haidar's arm. "How's your Mama doing?"

"Had died."
